How can I become a member?

By accepting an invitation to membership from a chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International.

Membership Criteria:

Undergraduate students must:

have completed ½ of the nursing curriculum;
have at least a GPA of 3.0 (based on a 4.0 grading scale);
rank in the upper 35 percentile of the graduating class;
meet the expectation of academic integrity.

RN students must:

have completed 12 credit hours at current school;
have completed ½ of the nursing curriculum;
have at least a GPA of 3.0 (based on a 4.0 grading scale);
rank in the upper 35 percentile of graduating class;
meet the expectation of academic integrity.

Graduate students (Master's and Doctorate) must:

have completed ¼ of the nursing curriculum;
have at least a GPA of 3.5 (based on a 4.0 grading scale);
meet the expectation of academic integrity.

Nurse Leaders must:

be a registered nurse, legally recognized to practice in his/her country;
hold at least a baccalaureate degree in nursing or other field;
have demonstrated achievement in nursing.

How can a nurse qualify for membership after graduation?
Potential members with at least a baccalaureate degree who have demonstrated achievement in nursing may apply for membership as a Nurse Leader. Degrees are expected to be in nursing; however, a baccalaureate degree in another field is acceptable.

May a student apply if they are in an educational program without a chapter?
No, students may become members only through the school they are attending which must have a chapter. However, if the undergraduate or graduate program has national accreditation, the students may work with the faculty and graduates to develop a chapter.

Are graduates from a school which has a chapter eligible to apply for membership in the chapter after graduation, if they did not apply as students?
If the graduate qualified for membership while a student, graduated within the last year, and was unaware of his/her eligibility, the individual may request to apply under student criteria. Otherwise, the alumnus may apply to any chapter as a Nurse Leader if they meet the criteria for nurse leader membership.

Are RN's eligible for membership if they have graduated from an associate degree or diploma program?
Only if they have since or also earned a baccalaureate degree.
